Abstract (en)
Disclosed are a vending device and method. The vending device comprises a control module (1), a cabinet (2), at least one cabinet door (3), and at least one camera module (4), which is connected to the control module (1). The camera module (4) is mounted on an inner wall (21) of the cabinet (2), and is used for capturing a goods pickup image of a user taking goods out of the cabinet (2) and from a goods shelf (5). The control module (1) is used for unlocking the cabinet door (3) and starting the camera module (4) when an access command from the user is received; the control module (1) is further used for capturing, via the camera module (4), the goods pickup image of the user taking the goods out of the cabinet (2) and from the goods shelf (5); and the control module (1) is further used for completing a payment trade with a bound payment account of the user at least according to the goods pickup image when it is detected that the cabinet door (3) is locked. A user can actually touch and choose an object he/she requires, and automatic settlement is realized upon taking the object away and closing the door, thereby eliminating a cash or mobile phone payment process by the user. Moreover, there is no risk of an object getting stuck.
